The life of Blessed Jerome of Recanati, despite numerous attempts by scholars to place him on a date at least probable, are not yet succeeded. He lived probably in the wake of St. Nicholas of Tolentino (1254-1305), like so many blessed Marches, but his reputation for holiness not crossed the boundaries of the Marches and local historians have pointed out the extraordinary facts neglecting any reference to concrete historical. He lived in the Augustinian convent of Recanati (Macerata), where he died March 12, 1350. He distinguished himself as a man of peace in those times of violence and murder. In fact, to remember and imitate the holy fellow, during the feast of the b. Jerome, until the early years of last century will elect some people who would be peacemakers in disputes born in the town of Recanati.
Pius VII in 1804 confirmed the cult of the Blessed, whose mortal remains are venerated in the church of St. Augustine in Recanati. He was born in Cortona around 1320. Still a teenager, due to discord city, was forced into exile in Mantua, where, in 1336, he entered the Augustinian convent of S. Agnes. Back home in 1354, the b. Ugolino is consecrated to God in the "young" Augustinian Order, ordered by Pope Alexander IV as a union of groups of hermits living in the spirituality of St. Augustine cenobitic. It then receives specific training in understanding the sanctity of life, love to study, especially of Scripture, the commitment to evangelization and spiritual and cultural formation, in search of solitude, asceticism, prayer and penance. After a singular commitment to the apostolate, the b, Ugolino spent the last years of his life in the solitude of a hermitage. He died in 1367. His cult was confirmed by Pope Pius VII in 1804. His mortal remains are venerated in the church of Sant 'Agostino in Cortona. His liturgical memorial on March 22.
The first author who wrote about life and devotion to the B. William was his compatriot Nicolas Bertran De Tholosanorum gestis in print in 1515, where he gathered traditions and very likely some tolosane written report. According to this source, William was born in Toulouse in France around 1297 within a noble family and the age of nineteen he entered the Augustinians of his hometown. Sent to Paris to continue his studies, he obtained the title of reader in theology. To return to his province of origin, was in charge of preaching and soon gained fame as a speaker, spiritual director, who knows the heart and promoter of devotion to the souls in purgatory. Life reports that his favorite activity was "to pray or to contemplate or talk about God," describes his zeal, his strict fasting and fighting with the devil, in person and as an exorcist. Reports also large and various miracles performed before and after death. Except for a brief period in which he was Prior of the convent of Pamiers, it seems that most of his life after returning from studying in Paris took place in the convent in the district of Toulouse Saint'Etienne, where in those days, just in 1341, was celebrated the General Chapter of the Order of St. Augustine. Considered by all saint died May 18, 1369 in Toulouse.
He was buried in the convent cemetery, as was usual, but a few days later, regarded the veneration of the people, mindful of his virtues and grateful for the graces obtained through her intercession, was necessary to transfer the church to a place more worthy and accessible to the devotion of the faithful.
Pope Leo XIII confirmed the cult in 1893.
